Default Re: Divinity: Original Sin is out!! (Old school CRPG)

Got it, and wow, its really great so far! It does remind me of Ultima 7 a BIT... Loads of skills and combat is turned based, which I thought I'd dislike, but I LOVED the gold box games in the late 80's and 90's, so I risked it..

It was worth it. Really is rewarding. Much more tactical than a hack and slasher.. Because these mobs can rip you a new one if you don't plan. I remember the end battles of Pools of Darkness, and WOW those were hard... then Dave's Challenge was insane. (some may not know of that game, or some gold box games, but some encounters were just brutal. And when you WON, you actually felt you accomplished something.

Love the humor too. Nice to see games have a bit of fun with dialogue.
